I've got my pockets full of money
I'm gonna spend it all tonight
I've got my pockets full of money
I'm gonna spend it all tonight
A whole months salary
Gonna set it to flames
On some girl, we just met recently
I barely know her name
Cha cha, cha cha, cha chaaa
Cha cha, cha cha
Oh take me some place decent
Where we meet up with your friends
Where the people are pleasant
Where the music never ends
Where the music never ends
Cha cha, cha cha, cha chaa
Cha cha, cha cha, cha cha
I can't say that you are pretty
That would make me a liar
But you turn my my legs to spaghetti
And set my heart on fire
You set my heart on fire
You set my heart on fire
You set my heart on fire (I'll come running with a heart on fire)
I'll come running with a heart on fire
I'll come running with a heart on fire
I'll come running with a heart on fire
I'll come running with a heart on fire
I'll come running with a heart on fire
You set my heart on fire
You set my heart on fire
You set my heart on fire
Set my heart on fire
You set my heart on fire
You set my heart on fire
You set my heart on fire
Set my heart on fire
You set my heart on fire (I'll come running with a heart on fire)
Heart on fire
I'll come running with a heart on fire
I'll come running with a heart on fire
I'll come running with a heart on fire
I'll come running with a heart on fire
I'll come running with a heart on fire
I'll come running with a heart on fire
I'll come running with a heart on fire
I'll come running with a heart on fire
I'll come running with a heart on fire
I'll come running with a heart on fire
I'll come running with a heart on fire
I'll come running with a heart on fire
I'll come running with a heart on fire
I'll come running with a heart on fire
I'll come running with a heart on fire
I'm gonna spend it all tonight
I've got my pockets full of money
I'm gonna spend it all tonight
A whole months salary
Gonna set it to flames
On some girl, we just met recently
I barely know her name
Cha cha, cha cha, cha chaaa
Cha cha, cha cha
Oh take me some place decent
Where we meet up with your friends
Where the people are pleasant
Where the music never ends
Where the music never ends
Cha cha, cha cha, cha chaa
Cha cha, cha cha, cha cha
I can't say that you are pretty
That would make me a liar
But you turn my my legs to spaghetti
And set my heart on fire
You set my heart on fire
You set my heart on fire
You set my heart on fire (I'll come running with a heart on fire)
I'll come running with a heart on fire
I'll come running with a heart on fire
I'll come running with a heart on fire
I'll come running with a heart on fire
I'll come running with a heart on fire
You set my heart on fire
You set my heart on fire
You set my heart on fire
Set my heart on fire
You set my heart on fire
You set my heart on fire
You set my heart on fire
Set my heart on fire
You set my heart on fire (I'll come running with a heart on fire)
Heart on fire
I'll come running with a heart on fire
I'll come running with a heart on fire
I'll come running with a heart on fire
I'll come running with a heart on fire
I'll come running with a heart on fire
I'll come running with a heart on fire
I'll come running with a heart on fire
I'll come running with a heart on fire
I'll come running with a heart on fire
I'll come running with a heart on fire
I'll come running with a heart on fire
I'll come running with a heart on fire
I'll come running with a heart on fire
I'll come running with a heart on fire
I'll come running with a heart on fire

Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve.
The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future.
Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere"
The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”
Mountain Song
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction vocalist Perry Farrell gives Adam Reader some heartfelt insight into Jane’s Addiction's hard rock manifesto "Mountain Song", which was the second single from their revolutionary album Nothing's Shocking. Mountain song was first recorded in 1986 and appeared on the soundtrack to the film Dudes starring Jon Cryer. The version on Nothing's Shocking was re-recorded in 1988.
"'Mountain Song' was actually about... I hate to say it but... drugs. Climbing this mountain and getting as high as you can, and then coming down that mountain," reveals Farrell. "What it feels to descend from the mountain top... not easy at all. The ascension is tough but exhilarating. Getting down is... it's a real bummer. Drugs is not for everybody obviously. For me, I wanted to experience the heights, and the lows come along with it."
"There's a part - 'Cash in now honey, cash in Miss Smith.' Miss Smith is my Mother; our last name was Smith. Cashing in when she cashed in her life. So... she decided that, to her... at that time, she was desperate. Life wasn't worth it for her, that was her opinion. Some people think, never take your life, and some people find that their life isn't worth living. She was in love with my Dad, and my Dad was not faithful to her, and it broke her heart. She was very desperate and she did something that I know she regrets."
I Can't Go To Sleep

This song is written as the perspective of the boys in the street, as a whole, and what path they are going to choose as they get older and grow into men. (This is why the music video takes place in an orphanage.) The seen, and unseen collective suffering is imbedded in the boys’ mind, consciously or subconsciously, and is haunting them. Which path will the boys choose? Issac Hayes is the voice of reason, maybe God, the angel on his shoulder, or the voice of his forefathers from beyond the grave who can see the big picture and are pleading with the boys not to continue the violence and pattern of killing their brothers, but to rise above. The most beautiful song and has so many levels. Racism towards African Americans in America would not exist if everyone sat down and listened to this song and understood the history behind the words. The power, fear, pleading in RZA and Ghostface voices are genuine and powerful. Issac Hayes’ strong voice makes the perfect strong father figure, who is possibly from beyond the grave.
Plastic Bag
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“Plastic Bag” is a song about searching for an escape from personal problems and hoping to find it in the lively atmosphere of a Saturday night party. Ed Sheeran tells the story of his friend and the myriad of troubles he is going through. Unable to find any solutions, this friend seeks a last resort in a party and the vanity that comes with it.
“I overthink and have trouble sleepin’ / All purpose gone and don’t have a reason / And there’s no doctor to stop this bleedin’ / So I left home and jumped in the deep end,” Ed Sheeran sings in verse one. He continues by adding that this person is feeling the weight of having disappointed his father and doesn’t have any friends to rely on in this difficult moment. In the second verse, Ed sings about the role of grief in his friend’s plight and his dwindling faith in prayer. “Saturday night is givin’ me a reason to rely on the strobe lights / The lifeline of a promise in a shot glass, and I’ll take that / If you’re givin’ out love from a plastic bag,” Ed sings on the chorus, as his friend turns to new vices in hopes of feeling better.
The sample is from "Gravedigger Blues" by Beat Happening.
one of my favorite jens lekman songs. the lyrics to me are just what i think of him: impulsive and candid but oh so beautiful.
i see the girl who he sings this song too initially responding brashly and unimpressed: "can't say you're pretty" "oh take me someplace decent" To say to a woman that you've got money that your looking to throw away, and that she should take the lead by planning the evening and picking the place, isn't traditional male courtship - but when it comes to the chorus (and huanting smaple) "you set my heart on fire" what person could remain uncharmed by such words?
Can't believe that no one has commented on this song...
I heard it for the first time last night and boy was i hooked... Had on repeat for 50 minutes...
Damn that song touch me!!
i love the background sample over and over "i'll come runnin' with a heart on fire" so good.
Finally someone who feels the same :D
Yes! I love the ending. This is probably my favorite on Oh You're So Silent Jens. Does anyone happen to know where that sample came from? Jens Lekman is great though. If only more people (in the states at least) actually knew who he was.
amazing song!
"but you turn my my legs to spaghetti and set my heart on fire"
well put, jens. well put!
i think this song is either about
a) going through the phases of being in a relationship with this girl. meeting her - going on a date - going crazy about her.
or
b) there is another girl he wants to be with. and the first 2 stanzas are saying he is willing to spend a whole months wage on some girl he hardly knows, as if to say 'this is what i'd do for her think about what i'd do for you.' and then the 3rd and 4th stanzas are asking the girl he really likes to take him some place perfect where they can be happy together and describing just how much she means to him. and then there's the amazing sample...
either way it's a fantastic song, from a fantastic album, from a fantastic artist.
"I can't say that you are pretty that would make me a liar but you turn my my legs to spaghetti and set my heart on fire"
great lyricism and when the sample kicks in... woah
amazing song from jens lekman of the burgeoning new indie capital that is sweden
i think this song is about someone who is trying to convey how much they feel for someone. he begins by saying how much money he would spend on someone he didnt even care about, wanting her to understand how much he would give her because he cared about her so much more than that.
